Chapter 34, Problem 4TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The leaf consists of various tissues. A layer of epidermis is present in the upper and lower surfaces of a leaf blade. The upper surface of the leaf blade covers the upper surface of a leaf and the lower surface of the blade covers the lower surface of the leaf. Leaf epidermal cells lack chloroplast and are relatively transparent.
